Sad night comming in st ives down eastern arterial lost 4 points and officer didnt believe that i was gettin chased :D

Not double demerits luckily but on red Ps ive lost 3 before hand thats -3 points from a 4 point total license ie 7 altogether..

Hope they accept my letter for this one coz i need to drive to hsc exams at hte end of this year

They were bloody ****y the officers and wen i asked for advice next time they gave me sarcastic and stupid remarks, but i cant write that in the letter if im wanting to get off it

for those who care i was "over 30km/h" in a 60 zone but not over 45 oh well

guess no more skyline insurance for me :Bang:

Dale, I'm afraid that you are learning the hard way mate.

Take your speeding to the track - it's much more fun - less dangerous and cheaper in the long run !

If you were being chased you should have pulled over into a highly populated area with lots of lights, or servo or something rang the cops on your mobile -

000 is your friend !

Why were you being chased anyway ? I grew up in St Ives lived there for 15 odd years - and I nerver saw any of this sort of behaviour. I also drive through there regularly on my way to stuff - and to visit my oldies. So my thinking is that there must have been some sort of reason as to why you were being chased.

If you were really being chased you would be too glad your limbs are all still attached rather than carrying on about losing your licence.

As Brendan said it sounds like you're learning the hard way. There are rules, break them and there are consequences. "but but, I have an HSC exam to drive to" doesn't cut it, if I was a magistrate who heard that I'd tell you to catch the bus. You should have gone to a lit area, a cop shop, a servo or called the cops. What will speeding do if you get chased? The chaser will speed too. Now you have two cars screaming through the streets - it's probably the dumbest thing you can do, no offence. You're still young and learning, just make sure you DO learn or you'll just continue making life more difficult than it needs to be.

As for 17 year olds doing 30km/h above the limit in a suburban area, I don't approve of that at all. There's a reason why you've lost 7 points, and it's not "because life's unfair". Think about it.

No "live and learn" comments from me mate... You already know that. We all went through the same trials and tribulations with speeding fines when we were younger.

(Geez, I sound like an old fart)

Cliffnotes: Bummer. Don't expect your letter to do anything as it's not your first offence, and that's a pretty lame excuse I'm sure the Police and the Magistrates have heard countless times hs.gif

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
